“SYNESTHESIA” — introducing the artist buggy

buggy

buggy is a painter who, wielding the twin techniques of collage and acrylic paint, layers familiar images — era-defining celebrities, politicians, corporate logos and the like — into provocative collages. Beyond producing artwork for fashion magazines such as VOGUE JAPAN and Numero TOKYO, buggy has collaborated with global brands including Marc by Marc Jacobs and Stella McCartney, and has earned popularity for original items as well, pursuing a wide-ranging practice.

Installation Views

Figures sharing the same eyes, faces turned upside down — it's a pleasure to view them while pondering what they might mean.

Staff Comment

buggy's signature style satirizes society through human figures. What are these upside-down collaged figures trying to tell us? What does society look like seen through buggy's work? Do come and see the pieces in person and let your imagination run! (Kawahara)

Exhibition Details

“SYNESTHESIA”

This exhibition brings together ten diverse, up-and-coming artists, with the aim of helping every visitor refresh their sensibility and cultivate new values through art. The title “SYNESTHESIA” refers to the experience of perceiving color in letters or sounds, or sensing shape in taste or smell. We hope that the rich variety of expression woven together by these ten artists will become an occasion for you to encounter something already within yourself.
